5.0 out of 5 starsBest hiking boots to be found
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017
I purchased these after reading reviews from various hiking site reviews and the great price listed on Amazon and was not disappointed. I tried them on at a local store along with five or six others. Without question, these were the most comfortable and supportive at the same time. The insole included is of good quality and these felt more like a shoe as opposed to the stiffness of a boot but still maintained the support of a hiking boot. I was hooked. Others had indicated that there is very little break in time needed and that is absolutely true. I wore these to work for two days before taking them to Nepal for a 14 day trek to Everest base camp. I was told to order a 1/2 size bigger than I wear for swelling and I did so. I wear size 9 and ordered a 9.5 and it was perfect, even with socks of various thickness. We trekked daily anywhere from 5-8 hours and not once, not a single minute, did my feet get sore. They are comfortable, supportive and waterproof. We trekked 75 miles and went from 9k' to 17k' feet up and down trails, bouldering, rough steps, suspension bridges, rivers and glaciers. We trekked through mud, yak dung, water and snow. My feet stayed warm and dry and the shoes held up very, very well. Can't say enough good things about these shoes, they were one thing I never had to worry about.
